Re: Bubble hands
Are you sure this is right? The chip totals come up to 13500.
In any case, I hate having to push here, since you're likely getting called, but I think you have to since the blinds are taking half your stack in the next two hands and you'll have no FE left. |

Re: Bubble hands
To fold here is to forfeit.
You have the most FE right now against the blinds who have no need to cripple themselves heading to the bubble. You might even consider pushing any two right now. |

Re: Bubble hands
FE = to the chance everyone will fold to you in the BB on the next hand. Push any two... call any two in the BB same difference.

I guess in this case, Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is better than any two, and it's manlier to push? |

But you're kinda just screwed either way... you just get to pick the hole. |

Been a while since I've played there... |

I think there's 0% chance that it will be folded around with the blinds this high with any reasonable players, where you have at leave a >0% chance that you pick up the blinds when you push. |

Re: Bubble hands
What buy in was this? Hope its a turbo...600 blinds and over half the field is a tight game. That's tight for a turbo actually ("tight" or just a lot of back and forth wealth distribution).
